Meet the Staff

	Richard Flynn "Captain of Lyrics"
	If Joni ever gives us new lyrics to transcribe, I'll be right on it. Until then I am happy to hunt up amusing and obscure references to add to the already existing annotations. I hope that you will send your suggestions to me at rflynn@frontiernet.net.

	Lori Fye "Pixelation Specialist, Pollster, and Part-Time Peacekeeper"
	To be sung to the tune of Edelweiss: Pixelate, Pixelate Lori's anal-retentive Short and white, up all night Can't stop editing "Fiction" "What size are photos?" she asks of Les Smurph just rolls his eyeballs : ) Pixelate, Pixelate Make these web pages better!

	Les Irvin "Cheap Executive Officer"
	Les has presided over the JMDL through many ups and downs; from the junk-bond fiasco of the late '90s through the still-pending allegations of insider trading. He steadfastly maintains his innocence and with the promise of never playing "Both Sides Now" in public, has been allowed to stay indefinitely in this capacity.

	Simon Montgomery "JoniMitchell.com - Researcher, Archivist, and Discographer"
	Consultant to Delilah Films and American Masters during the production of the documentary films Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now, and Then; and also Joni Mitchell - Woman Or Heart And Mind.

	Lindsay Moon "Official Transcriber"
	My introduction to Joni began with "Blue" and my stunned fascination has never waned. The person who introduced me to her music said, "No one can touch her " and that remains true. I love the sound of her speaking voice as well and offered to transcribe Joni interviews (being a former court reporter and lover of words) for Les and the jmdl site. It is such a thrill for me to be able to contribute in some small way to Jonis legacy and this community (and the pays great!).

	Bob Muller "Grand Poobah of Covers"
	BEWARE what you volunteer for! While my brain was AWOL, I volunteered to manage a database that attempted to collect information on covers of Joni songs, figuring that I'd have to round up 30-40 records of Judy Collins & Fairport Convention and such. Four years & 1600+(!!) covers later, the songs are still pouring in!! I have become George Jetson on the conveyor belt..."Jane, stop this crazy thing"!!! :~) (All kidding aside, this has been a lot of fun & a great way to further appreciate the finest composer of the latter half of the 20th century....)

	Bob Murphy "World's Leading Authority on Joni Mitchell in Fiction"
	Don't know much about the French I took, but I do know a helluva lot about Joni mentions in all kinds of works of fiction since I took on this project. Sometimes some of the tougher guys in the neighborhood give me a hard time about my obsession, calling me Joni Boy and worse. But what do I care? I am an expert in something that no one else in the whole world knows much about. And they're just a bunch of mean little ten-year-olds.

Jamie Zubairi "Gallery organiser and archivist? Hah!"

Thanks to Les for inviting me along to help getting the Artwork section archived, I hope I've got them right! (Joni, I might need your help here on the titles!).

I love Joni's music and her artwork. For many years I've only been exposed to it (like the rest of the world) via her album covers but through this website and people's lovely online collections, I've been able to see her painting and her photography in digital. I'd love for her to curate her paintings in London. Hell, I'd love for her to tour to England with her music.

If you have any more digital versions of the paintings and photographs, or any more information about them please email me about it!
